What tyres are compatible with the FLIT-16?
The FLIT-16 comes with Schwalbe Marathons as standard. We have chosen this tyre for its durability and excellent puncture resistance.
The rims on the FLIT-16 are 16″ 349 ETRTO so most tyres made for this rim type will fit. Some of the very wide tyres like Schwalbe Big Apple will not fit.
We have tested the FLIT-16 with Schwalbe Kojak, Marathons and Marathon Racer tyres. We recommend using any of these with the bike.
